Published on July 10, 2006
Chicago's last major source for jazz programming on local radio, Chicago's National Public Radio member station WBEZ, has decided to stop its nightly jazz and other scheduled music programming and move to a 24-hour news and public affairs format, reports Reuters (via News.com). The change points to the problems facing independent radio stations in the age of downloadable music and streaming websites.
